Global Security Forum: Emerging Technologies Governance

Emerging Technologies Governance
Friday, January 24, 2020 9:00 am - 11:00 am
CSIS Headquarters 2nd Floor Conference Center
Due to space restrictions, registration for the Global Security Forum is now closed. Existing RSVPs will be re-confirmed via email from the Global Security Forum team. Credentialed members of the press will receive instructions as part of a separate confirmation issued by the Office of External Relations. For more information, contact gsf@csis.org.

In an era of global technological competition and diffusion of innovation, the United States must uphold the twin pillars of national security and national innovation. There is a clear need for greater cooperation and engagement on the challenge set within government; between federal, state, and local levels; between governments; and between the public and private sectors. By recognizing its comparative strengths and weaknesses, the United States federal government can take measured steps that increase its chances of success and guard against risks. 

CSIS’s Global Security Forum focuses on the challenges that emerging technologies pose to U.S. security and the policy priorities needed. The event will feature a keynote address from Secretary of Defense Mark Esper and the launch of a new report highlighting insights from the 2019 GSF Experts’ Workshop and actionable recommendations to inform a more effective U.S. federal government approach to emerging technologies.
